There was a time when I used to watch the Rotten Tomatoes score to decide if I should watch a certain film. But now I have realized that critics are really some assholes. So many movies are out there sitting with poor score that I have started feeling that these critics actually know nothing about cinema.
Run fat boy run was released in 2007 but the first lord of the rings movie was released in 2011, so how the hell was he watching lord of the rings starring Elijah wood? Apologies if i’m really stupid and there’s an obvious explanation for this lol.
Was originally gonna post this to the not interesting sub reddit cause i felt nobody would care about it so it fit. But after seeing a post on a different sub of somebody staring a discussion on their favorite movies they seen this year. I kinda wanted to turn it into a discussion instead. Didn't know where to post something like this, but after scrolling here and seeing actual movie discussions and people just showing off their letterbox, ranking and stuff. I say this is a good place :).
Also, if you're wondering why I was watching movies damn near Daily. 2 reasons, 1: My backlogs of movies to watch is atrociously long. I have been barely watching movies these past few years, and there are so many godamn films I need to catch up on. Like even if I didn't cover it as much as I probably should have, if you give me a list of some of the greatest and most ironic movies ever. And I just you with "haven't seen it, haven't seen it, haven't seen it" like it that bad. So I wanted to go through my super long backlog of films I'm interested in but never sat down and watched. And 2: it starting to get nice out (thank god) and I been taking walks to my local library and they got a pretty big and great selection of DVDs, and I been using it as my way finding new stuff to watch instead of dealing with streaming. So I pretty much was renting movies every other day for a while, so yeah, they been a big part in my recent interest in films (also, please remember to support your local libary if ya can)
But anyway, yeah, I wanted to share to maybe start some discussion and also because I feel this is an obscured amount of movies to watch in one month I got to admit.
id say jake is honestly the best actor of all time for me now its my opinion so dont come hating but yall think a show with him would do great?
Welcome to This Week’s Binge Thread!
This is the place to share what you’ve been watching lately - movies, series, documentaries, anything!
Any hidden gem, a blockbuster, or even something you regret watching, we’d love to hear about it.

🍿 So… what have you been watching this week?
Pls
I just found out they’re making a full series based on Harry Potter with completely new actors.
And I honestly don’t know how to feel.
On one hand, it could be really interesting to see a more detailed, book-accurate version.
But on the other… the original cast is so iconic that it’s hard to imagine anyone else in those roles.
It almost feels like it’s either going to be amazing or completely unnecessary.
Are you actually excited for it, or does it feel like something that should’ve been left alone?
I made the mistake of watching The Wolf of Wall Street with my family......turned out to be my biggest regret
Here are the following titles:
I haven’t seen the movie yet but i wanted to know reviews without spoil
Thanks for the answers!
I’ve realized I always end up coming back to The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe. There is just something so magical about that specific atmosphere—the snowy woods, the sound of the tea kettle in Mr. Tumnus' house, and the beautiful soundtrack. It feels like a warm blanket for my brain.
I think what makes it so rewatchable is that it captures that pure sense of wonder we had as kids. Even though I know exactly what’s going to happen, the moment they step through the wardrobe still gives me chills. It’s one of the few movies that actually makes me feel like I’ve escaped to another world for a couple of hours.
Does anyone else have this movie (or the whole trilogy) on their permanent "comfort watch" list? What is it about Narnia that makes it so timeless for you? Or if you have a different movie that gives you that same feeling, I’d love to hear about it!
I watched the first part yesterday. It wasn’t exactly a big deal.
I've stumbled into a video on YouTube that casually tries to explain political ideologies and what the video did is recommend films primarily exploring each ideologie in at least some extent. what irked me is that when they got into centre left ones like democratic socialism and social democracy (both of which are some of the ideologies I subscribe to the most), they didn't recommend any films exploring them at all. This is why I'm here
I'd like to see your recommendations of movies and shows with primarily leftist or left leaning themes, preferably in the genre of a political drama. What would be twice as interesting for me is something that dives, or at least dips it's feet, into the benefits of left leaning systems rather than just criticizing right wing systems.
while i think the white ribbon is a superior work, my favorite haneke movie is benny's video for that whole part about how benny's parents react to the dead body. And the extremely bleak and cynical yet psychologically astute take on humans. i also prefer more focused narratives that center around one story and a few characters than what he did in the white ribbon which was more about the society of the village than about any one or few individuals. which is your favorite haneke film and why?
also: what do u think about what he said about schindler's list and the suspense spielberg added to the gas chamber scene? he was repulsed by it.
Hi! I'm working on a new online indie film streaming platform, and we want to have a discussion forum after each film premiere. I was curious what kind of features or experiences people would like to see out of something like this. What frustrations do you have with discourse about films today? What frustrations do you have with seeing / accessing the films you want to see? Are there films you've seen that you really wish MORE people had seen so you could talk about it with them?
Any and all suggestions welcome!!
